Beautiful EG-6 Civil War Engineer Coat Button |
|
| This is an absolutely superb, non-dug EG-6 Federal Engineers Coat Button ! I had a difficult time photographing it to show the detail, due to it retaining 99% shiney gold gilt . Finally was able to overcome the "shine" with very subdued lighting, but I can tell you, in your hand this one shines like a newly minted gold coin ! The areas on the reverse that appear dark in my pics are barely noticeable in hand, it's mostly the dark lighting pics. It's just beautiful ! It has no pushes, cracks, or damage of any sort, with excellent details. Reverse shows a tight, upright shank still intact, and correct period backmark that reads, " * Waterbury Button Co. * Extra " These are extremely rare in decent excavated condition, and a lot of folks who want an example, end up with a good period non dug one. This one is way above good, and displays beautifully ! $195 plus shipping
